FALLS VILLAGE — A visiting turkey hunter from New Hampshire, who purchased just one ticket, won a restored 1927 Old Town canoe (and a handmade Adirondack pack basket) at a raffle sponsored by the Great Mountain Forest.
The winner, Larry Fortier of Bow, N.H., was chosen from 500 entries Saturday, June 18, at The Shelter in Norfolk — an open building that was originally attached to a golf course. The property was purchased by the Childs family and subsequently turned over to Great Mountain Forest, and the course itself has long since given way to trees.
